ORDER: On the same day the Court entered an order dismissing the complaint for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction 4 , plaintiff Shemeka Ibrahim filed a First Amended Complaint 7 , apparently to correct grammatical errors in the original complaint. To the extent the amended complaint might be construed as a motion for permission to amend the complaint or as a motion to reconsider dismissal of the case, such motion, however construed, is without merit and is hereby DENIED AS MOOT. The proposed amendment does not affect the fundamental defect in the original complaint, as it too fails to state a claim over which this Court has subject-matter jurisdiction. Signed by District Judge Kevin H. Sharp on 10/22/12. (xc:Pro se party by regular and certified mail.)(DOCKET TEXT SUMMARY ONLY-ATTORNEYS MUST OPEN THE PDF AND READ THE ORDER.)(dt)

ORDER: The plaintiff has now filed a document styled "Motion/Complaint for an Appeal," in which the plaintiff appears to request permission to transfer her case to the "appeal court in Nashville, Tennessee" and to "grant [her ] appeal and allow [her] to forward this case to the State of Tennessee Appeals Court." Insofar as the plaintiff seeks transfer of her case to the Tennessee Court of Appeals, such motion is DENIED, because this Court has no power to transfer an appeal to the state appellate court. Because the plaintiff's motion may be construed as a notice of appeal, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to provide notice thereof to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. In accordance with Rule 24, the Court HER EBY CERTIFIES that an appeal of the dismissal of this case would not be taken in good faith. If the plaintiff seeks to pursue an appeal in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, she MUST either submit the full $455 appellate filing fee to the Clerk of this Court, or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis directly in the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, within 30 days of service of this order. Signed by District Judge Kevin H. Sharp on 11/27/12. (xc:Pro se party by regular and certified mail. 6CCA via e-mail)(DOCKET TEXT SUMMARY ONLY-ATTORNEYS MUST OPEN THE PDF AND READ THE ORDER.)(dt)

Signed by District Judge Kevin H. Sharp on 10/16/12. (xc:Pro se party by regular and certified mail.)(DOCKET TEXT SUMMARY ONLY-ATTORNEYS MUST OPEN THE PDF AND READ THE ORDER.)(dt)
